How can a large ship float in water?
A large ship can float in water due to the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship itself, allowing it to stay afloat. The shape of the ship's hull and the distribution of weight also play a role in helping it float.
Why do marbles float and big ships float?
Marbles float due to their low density relative to water, while ships float because of their shape and the principle of buoyancy. The shape of ships allows them to displace a large volume of water, which creates an upward buoyant force that supports their weight.
Why do some objects sink and some objects float?
It depends on the density of a material. The density can be calculated using: density = mass/volume. This means that a very heavy object like a tanker can float on water because it has a large volume which makes its density less than that of water.
Usually the hull of a ship contains a large volume of air. Why?
Because the air reduces the ship's overall density, and so allows it to float.

If a substance has a large mass and a small volume what can you conclude about it?
The Chemist and the Physicist would agree that it has a high density.The rest of us would remark that it is a very dense substance.Examples are gold, lead, stone, and my wife's matzoh balls.
Does francium have a definite volume?
If francium could be obtained in large quantities would have a definite volume.
Which unit of measurement would be most appropriate for measuring the volume of a large pot?
Liters or gallons would be appropriate units of measurement for measuring the volume of a large pot.
Why do ships float higher on sea water than in fresh water?
Because the the sea water contains salt, which increases the density of the water. Therefore, the ships becomes even less dense than the water, making it float higher.
What would you use to measure a volume of a bucket?
I would use a large, graduated measuring jug for this.I would use a large, graduated measuring jug for this.
What are characteristics of fresh egg?
If you candle them you can see a very small air sack and the old ones have a large one. If you put them in water the fresh eggs sink to the bottom because they don't have much air in them. The old ones float because the air sack is bigger.
Would Saturn float?
Saturn (the planet) would float if you could find anything large enough for it to float in. The density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm³ which is less than water. However, the density of Saturn (the planet) is always calculated as the "mean density", indicating that the mass of the core, water, and gasses are all combined to provide the total mass of the planet, and the volume, including the gas mantle is used to calculate mean density. Naturally the gas mantle will float, since it is significantly less dense than water, but if the planet were placed in a theoretical container of water, the gas would no longer be a significant part of the process, and the core of the planet would sink. So... it depends on how you're deciding whether the planet will float. Are you putting a large balloon around it then putting it into the theoretical container of water? Yes, it will float if that's what you're doing. But if the gas of the planet is allowed to act as a gas, everything changes... you decide. Saturn (the vehicle) would float briefly, while the windows and doors are closed, but as air is displaced, water would fill the inside of the vehicle and it would sink. If you wanted to fill the interior with beach balls or something else that would hold air... it would probably float.
